Frank should have no say so whatsoever wrt to who VT can and cannot hire for the AD position.

It's silly to think that ANY HC has the time and familiarity to know about what another AD is doing at another school. I don't care how many MNCs Saban was won at Bama, he should have no say in who their next AD. I know everyone thinks I like to bash Frank but this has nothing to do with Frank...

Anyone that doesn't believe Beamer should have a say so in the next AD isn't paying attention.

He's not some coach that has been here a while. He IS a Hokie, he has brought a ton of money/attention to the school, he has ran a great, clean, respectable program, and he will be an important figure in the university long after his football days are over. He is as much of VT athletics as anyone there has been or will ever be.

Most of you are right. Someone like Saban shouldn't have a say, but regardless of the on-field success he is no Frank Beamer. Saban is just another stich in the blanket for Alabama. Beamer is the seamstress of VT.

Why wouldn't the search committee at least ask a guy who has been here 27 years in an administrative position for his opinion on something that is happening within the department in which he's employed and helped build into what it is today?

They would be fools not to. Give him final say, No! But you have to give him an opportunity for input.

Nothing wrong with him giving names to the committee to research. But I don't think he should be able to flex any muscle when it comes to decision time. It's not like he has the opportunity to visit other AD's and evaluate the job their AD is doing, which is what I assume/hope the search committee does...
